Movie and Episode DUMP
posted by PompelmoSTAFFMOD on October 18, 2017 at 11:36 AM
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a research project at my company about probabilistic reconciliation, and I would like to have a dump of movies and episodes of tmdb. I have some questions:
- is it possible to have movie and episode dump of the data? or should I crawl by ids (I am allowed to do this?)?
- is there a method to retrieve episode by their id or is possible only through /tv/{tv_id}/season/{season_number}/episode/{episode_number}?
- to retrieve a movie title in two different language, should I perform two calls with different language or there is a way to do it with only one call?
thanks everyone for answering, to the community and tanks to the developers that maintains tmdb
Kate

Hi Kate,
There is no way to get any dumps of data at this time. The only way to get data is to iterate over the ids. We do provide some ID exports that can be helpful with this.
There is not. The only way is to hit each season/episode number combination.
You would have to perform an HTTP call for each language, so 2 different calls if you want 2 languages.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Cheers.
